Some 'foreign' car washes may be run as a proper business but you just wonder whether some of them could be connected to money laundering.
Our experience - We rent out some premises and there is a Romanian car wash next door.Wash'n Vac £6,they are always busy 7 days a week,about 10 valeters working at any time.There has been several reports of trouble among themselves and they routinely encroach on out tenants parking bays.However,receipts,PAYE,minimum wage,VAT and the rest,I don't think so.Are the authorities interested,no.Also,they have fitted a VERY expensive CCTV system,why !.I know their landlord and he says they always pay their rent on time but would not like to have to give them notice.To quote him " these guys don't care,where they come from,they are used to dodging bullits "....However,they appear to be good valeters !
£150 for a full valet on a van !.....I need smelling salts !
